My favorite burger spot and it always impresses me. I've been going here for about 3 years on and off. I've had great overall experiences and 1 bad experience turned good. First always bring cash. Cash only spot. Prices are affordable for your common person. The price listed includes tax in it. So if you order the double cheeseburger, fries and drink it'll be $11 on the dot. There will always be a wait. Because it's so good all the locals like myself will wait. Typical wait varies between 30-45 minutes. The location is a hole in the wall spot with about 8-10 people max seating. Two picnic tables outside. Now the bad experience turned good. One time the guy misplaced my order. I noticed 3-4 people who ordered after me got their order. Guy apologized when I brought it up to him. Meal was on the house, refunded my money and gave me a card for a free meal. How awesome is that?? Because of that I keep going back. read more

Hot and delicious--a burger made right. I'll be back every time I'm in Wichita. Highly recommend ed.

Read so many good reviews about Buster's so i had to stop in. There hours are unconventional as they close at 2pm on a Thursday. I got in just before they were closing and the guy took my order. Got a double combo with fries and a drink for 10 bucks tax included. The burger was huge and the beef patties were melt in your mouth. The burger came with cheese and ketchup. Nothing else. The fries were handcut, nicely fried but nothing to write home about. Overall the burger was good and pretty big. I believe each patties are 1/3 lbs. Not sure why anybody would goto a fast food joint when you have such a wonderful burger spot for cheaper than a mcdonald's meal. The building is kind of old and the inside is showing signs of wear but sometimes those are the spots were you find a hidden gem like this one. Good food and friendly people! read more

I'm not a Yankee Fan but some of my favorite people are - they would LOVE this place! Simple - grill a great burger, side with amazing onion rings and terrific fries, and you have a spot on the list of best burgers in Wichita. "Knocked it out of the park! Home run." So good.

Buster's Burger Joint - A single and a double, both with cheese; one with fries and one with rings. - Burgers Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

Definitely a new favorite. This is the hole in the wall you wish only you knew about. Delicious food served with friendly people. The menu is simplistic but is all you need. Tasty burgers with fries, wedges, tots or onion rings. Huge burger but so good you have to eat it all. And the soda selection is amazing. Dr Pepper with Strawberry Cream. Or Crush flavors. Amazing. The best price is the cost. Great food at low prices. read more

Busters could be a 5 all day of they were consistent with there hours. The dad and son are good people and definitely top 5 burger spot in witchita read more

Every once in awhile I crave a really good burger and Buster's always hits the spot. Hubs usually grabs me takeout and bring it to me for lunch while I'm working. I already enjoyed it as to go... but I finally got to try it FRESH and it was even better. When it's busy (and it usually is) they warn you when you order that it could take 30-40 minutes. It's small inside, so no big deal.... you can wait outside or in your car and come back in when it's closer to the time they tell you. When you ask for bacon on your burger, they don't skimp on it and it's delicious! I prefer my side to be the seasoned wedges. read more

No frills burger place, but the staff is surprisingly nice if direct. The burger was excellent though on the greasy side though that's not a bad thing. The onion rings were good but maybe fried at too low of a temp? They were a little more plastic like than crunchy. Great spot! read more

I've been waiting a long time to try this burger. Because of heart disease I only eat unhealthy once a week. I was in town yesterday and knew I had to finally try Buster's and it DID NOT DISSAPOINT! Wow, what a great old fashioned burger at a great price! Single w/mustard, pickle, grilled onions, and tater tots. All for about $6.50 I've done other burger reviews and between Ty's Diner and Buster's it's hard to say which is better but both are at the top of my list and I've tried many places now. Buster's is probably the better dollar deal though. No ambiance, just a little tiny whole in the wall, but man do they make a top notch burger. read more

Best burgers in town hands down, bar none. Worth the wait. I'd drive cross country to get some.

Food is incredible and inexpensive! Great (huge!) burgers, hot, fresh fries, tots & onion rings. Don't expect to be able to eat there; it is definitely a take-out spot, primarily. But worth it! read more

Food is delicious prices are great! Service is fast and great place to stop on your lunch break!

These burgers are fantastic. Grilled triple is too much for one sitting when paired with onion rings!!

Best burger in Kansas, never disappoints. ALWAYS great service. A lot of seating, decorations nice.

I have been going to Busters for a few years because of my wife and daughter who turned me on to this joint, but I certainly was not the first customer 21 years ago when he opened in 2001. I love to get the double with cheese and all the toppings. Great greasy burger if you like cheeseburgers and the fries are fresh and crispy with your choice of can pop! A&W is my fav...sometimes a Dew. They have all sizes of burgers for everyone's appetite...including the new record holder in 2021 eating 3 quads with fries where each quad (which is off menu) is 1.3333 pounds of beef and 2 pieces of cheese per patty totaling 8 pieces of cheese per quad. You can do the math on the balance of what the record holder ate, but if you don't want to challenge the record holder just drop in for a good and juicy burger...give the onion rings a try! read more

If you want a truly great burger, you gotta try Busters. While it's small and rarely room to sit down, we always get ours to go and sit in the car and eat. The fries are the best- crunchy on the outside but the center is tender! Don't expect it to be quick like a fast food drive-thru. They make it once you order. Nothing is done ahead of time. Buster and his son Gage, make a great team behind the counter. Not fancy- just good eatin'!! read more

If you want an old time cheese burger that has an amazing taste, this is the place. No frills just good food.

The best burger in Wichita hands down! If you're looking for a burger with gooey cheese dripping, this is the place to go to!!! It is very small and not a lot of space to sit. There are a few outdoor tables. Because of its small size and limited seating options, there is often a wait time. But the wait is well worth it! All of the flavors just mesh together really well! Hand-cut French fries that taste so good, you would think they're seasoned but they're not! Tater tots are seasoned and just melt in your mouth. Be sure to bring cash, as they don't take card! read more

Best burger in town. Cooked to order not a grey microwaved POS. Quality takes time, relax and enjoy the experiance.

Best burger in the area, not fancy, best burger in the area, not fancy, best burger in the area, not fancy....

Great burger joint! Not much space, but the guys running the place are super! The onion rings are fabulous! Make sure to have cash.

A cash only burger place that's the best in Wichita, I'll go here before S.E. Carry out, fat burger, or five guys! There was a little bit of a wait but it was well worth it! Will be back! Btw I drove 20+ min across town for this burger! Customer service was nice as well! This time I'll get a punch card! read more

Buster's Burger Joint - This is the pic that made me go!!! And mine looked just like it! Cheese sliding down! Yessirrr - Burgers Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

This place is a little hidden gem. It's tucked away in not the most desirable location of the city but that shouldn't turn you away from the food. Outside reads a sign "it ain't healthy but it sure tastes good" and there couldn't be a more accurate way to describe this joint. DELICIOUS! Expect a bit of a wait (15min cook time), everything is cooked fresh. You'll literally be standing less than 20ft away from the grill so you can see your meal being prepped. CASH ONLY! read more

We finally made it to this place while it's open! It was SO worth it! My living room is bigger than this place. There are no tables to speak of, just long boards with chairs. A trellis fence separates the grill from your seat. I'd guess 8x10 room maybe. Who cares? The burgers are so outstanding, I ordered a triple with cheese and "everything". Everything means tomato, onion, pickle and mustard. Otherwise, you specify what you want. I wanted tater tots. Hubby got fries. Onion rings are a dollar extra. Buster fries the tater tots crunchy, the way I like them! Drinks are in cans on a shelf against the wall. There is a good variety. Ice and Styrofoam cups are on a counter. We selected a can and seated ourselves at the last few spots left on the board. The burger is super delicious without grease dripping off very much, as the wax paper wrapped around it saves your clothes if you eat with two hands. It was a sumptuous, delectable, artery-clogging treat in a tiny dive, worth going into. While we were busily chomping away, a guy asked for half fries, half tater tots. He was given an emphatic NO! Out of curiosity, the guy by the door inquired if he could have 1/3 fries, tots and onion rings. Buster told him he could leave now. We all laughed. Buster and his wife are affable, cheery and fun. We enjoyed our lunch, the divey atmosphere and the overall experience. No wonder it is a favorite of so many regulars. We will be back! read more

This is the best burger joint in town. Buster is the Burger Monarch. Long live the sultan of the grill!!

He's never open. He blocked me on facebook after complaining about being closed when I'm hungry for his awesome burger. Not going to waste my time driving there anymore since I can't see if he's open that day or if he's closed because he's upset about the Yankee's being losers this year. Graet burger, ah well, Bionic is closer anyway. read more

I wanted to go to Fat Ernie's for lunch and when we got there we discovered it was closed due to plumbing problems. We were searching for a place to eat in the same general area of town and this place popped up. We drove over and you could tell it was our kind of place. As other reviews have noted it is a hole-in-the-wall kind of place but when it comes to food that is a compliment. The service was very friendly and I was impressed at how quickly two people produced food for the steady stream of customers. My wife and I both got double cheese burgers, hers with fries and mine with onion rings. The burgers were made fresh and I doubt you can find a better burger anywhere in Wichita. read more

"Cash only" I've found to be secret code for the best combination of sketchy geographic location, no-nonsense interior and the best damn food you'll ever taste ... at least for the price. This holds true for donuts, dogs, ice cream, fish, tacos, etc.. in this case, it's burgers and tots. If you're at an ATM, get some cash and head to Buster's. Admittedly there are a few good burger joints in Wichita. Try them all, but you'll carry five bucks with you in the future every time you're headed down east MacArthur. read more

THE best burger and fries. They were very busy but the service was quick. It is a bit of a dive but we found a place to sit and we're quite comfortable. I will definitely be going back. read more

The neighborhood burger dive is nearly a cliché at this point. In a small building that would be considered low-rent to anyone other than Jack's Coffee Shop, there's just enough room for a couple rows of tables, a broken cooler full of soda, and the burger-making operations in the back. The burgers are dirt cheap and the meat is plentiful. The meat isn't the greatest quality, and lacked a bit of seasoning when paired with the slice of cheese that sat between the two buns. While many in this town are content to let their burgers wallow in their greasy, ultimately causing me to ingest it, Buster's has the decency to wrap the burger in wax paper, wicking away some of the fat, though that piece of paper was at its limit by the time I finished eating. Fries were homemade, and in an attempt to get them crispy, they were cut thinner than average and fried extra long. It was probably a little too long, in the end, and the objective wasn't accomplished. The charm of these small burger restaurants is in their personality and intimacy - everyone knows each other, and they would probably all tell you that Buster's makes the finest burger in Wichita. Just like the patrons of TJ's, Ty's, Bomber Burger, and Sport Burger would tell you the same. For a nomad like me who's out to try every restaurant in the city, it's more of the same, though that's not to discount that - at the end of the day - Buster's makes a pretty good buger. But so does everyone else. read more
